The Chancellor Alistair Darling, is expected to announce that he will be cutting VAT to the EU minimum of 15% (from 17.5%) . So an item costing £10 will now cost £9.75. Now this sounds all good and stuff but this means that £20 billion + is not going into the treasury pockets, one must ask is this wise in a time where public borrowing is sky high?
To me this seems like an extreme measure and just proves that this global downturn is real bad and this all sounds really good now but we will all need to pay it back in the future. No doubt our income taxes will have to go up in a few years time not to mention that all londoners will have to pay for the Olympics via local taxes the future is not looking bright but not orange.
Purchased a LG Cookie today. Im actually really happy with my SE C902 phone at the moment but i thought i must try this new phone. For £100 on pay as you go via the Carphonewarehouse who are selling it exclusively. The phone comes unlocked so you can use it on almost any network in the world.
Anyway it's the cheapest touch screen phone on the market but that doesnt mean it's crap. It is really good, fully featured but without 3G the interface is fast and it is easy to type texts.

Car crime has tripled to 15 a month (http://maps.met.police.uk/) in my area. One morning i found 4 cars smashed on my road.
You think with all this the police will take action. They did! they put signs up on the street... like that's gonna help.
While watching top gear tonight (a car tv show) they reviewed Toyota latest concept.
The I-swing as it is called is more or less a motorised chair funny enough it looks like the ones in the Disney Movie Wall-E. Perhaps the engineers at Toyota love disney movies?
Over the weekend the "Show me your Sloggi" Best rear end in the world contest took place... A Brazilian Woman and French man won ... If you go to the
sloggi website you can see the rest of the competition.... amazing bottoms!

I'm back... i finally have more time. I was so busy at work in one month i did 19 extra hours.....
Anyway i'm very happy afew weeks ago i got a promotion to IT manager which Im very happy about. I was very shocked when i found out i didnt expect it at all.
In october i went to my very first conference in this job... I was all alone for most of the two days because my boss was stuck in the states. It really hit me how i was the youngest there. Majority were white middle age men and women. Maybe it's the industry that doesnt really appeal to younger people? I really felt it really hard to network with people there.
The dinner was the worst... trying to network was a disaster... ended up just getting drunk and falling asleep.
I live 5 min from westfield. Im so excited about the opening. London has always needed a shopping place which opens really late for ages. Many other european and asian cities already do this. It is so nice to shop in the evening, less people compared to a saturday.
check out my new specs...
one is D&G £280 with lenses the other is a non branded one which cost £30 with lenses purchased online... amazing!
